OPERATING INSTRUCTIONSFOR GUARDAIR STANDARD AND STATIC CONDUCTIVE COMPRESSED AIR-POWERED VACUUMS

FOR YOUR SAFETYTurn off all compressed air connections to the compressed air source at the nearest valve. Disconnect compressed air connections only after the compressed air supply has been turned off and the air supply hose has been vented by opening the valve on the vacuum head. NEVER disconnect a pressurized compressed air hose.

AIR SUPPLYAn adequate supply of compressed air is essential for the proper performance of your Guardair vacuum. Compressed air requirements for vacuum units and vacuum generating heads equipped with the following Venturi types are listed below:

“Dual B” VenturiN552B Series .....................................................................110 cfm

“B” Type Venturi N551B Series, N301B Series ................................................68 cfm

“D” Type Venturi N551D Series, N301D Series, N201DC, N101DC ..................47 cfm

“S” Type Venturi N201SC, N101SC ................................................................20 cfm

“M” Type Venturi N101MC, N051MC ...............................................................20 cfm

Please note that these requirements are for compressed air volume, not pressure. The recommended compressed air inlet operating pressure is 100 psi for all vacuum units. All units will function at lower operating pressures, but with a corresponding reduction in performance.

Units featuring a “Dual B”, “B” or “D” Type Venturi include a Chicago-style connector. 3/4" ID or larger compressed air supply hose is recommended for these models.

Units featuring an “S” Type Venturi include a 1⁄2" industrial interchange male connector. 1⁄2" ID or larger compressed air supply hose is recommended for these models. Units featuring an “M” Type Venturi include a 3⁄8"

industrial interchange male connector. 3⁄8" ID or larger compressed air supply hose is recommended for these models.

FOR ALL MODELS: To ensure maximum performance, clean or replace the internal filter as necessary. In addition, clean or replace the exhaust silencer (inside the exhaust housing) as necessary. Inspect the cover gasket for deterioration and replace if necessary. On all vacuum units, use of a smaller diameter air supply hose or smaller diameter air fittings will seriously restrict performance. Use the recommended hoses and fittings.

Be certain that the drum has no dents along the seams and is airtight. The cover gasket under the vacuum generating head must form a complete seal with the top edge of the drum.

CAUTION: Drums used with Guardair vacuum generating heads must meet the gauge (thickness) requirements in the table below. Thinner gauges of steel run the risk of drum collapse.

GAUGE 19 18 18 20 20

REPLACING GASKETSOn 55, 30 & 20 Gallon Models, remove the gasket to be replaced. Remove the protective tape covering the adhesive on the new gasket, then apply to lid.

On 10 & 5 Gallon Models, the lid gasket is adhered to the lid by hot glue. The hot glue can easily be removed with rubbing alcohol. Let the rubbing alcohol sit for one minute, then peel off with a flat head screwdriver. We recommend using hot glue when installing new gasket.

SET-UP AND OPERATION, 55-GALLON, 30-GALLON AND 20-GALLON MODELS:Place the vacuum generating head on the drum. There are no clamps required to form an airtight seal. When the vacuum is in operation, the negative pressure within the drum will create the airtight seal between the head and drum.

Connect the vacuum hose to the vacuum generating head by inserting the hose adapter into the inlet elbow. Slip the hose end onto the adapter. Connect vacuum attachments to the vacuum hose.

Turn off the compressed air supply valve at the compressor.

Dual B, B & D VenturisConnect the compressed air supply hose to the vacuum generating head via the Chicago-style coupler. Twist to-gether and be sure they lock. Install the safety clips. Connect the compressed air supply hose to the compressor. Turn on the compressed air supply. Open the shut-off valve to operate. S VenturisConnect the compressed air supply hose to the vacuum generating head via the ½” industrial interchange male connector. Connect the compressed air supply hose to the compressor. Turn on the compressed air supply. Open the shut-off valve to operate.

Liquid Shut-off AccessoryBefore picking up liquids, remove the internal filter, which is held in place by three springs. For continuous liquid pick-up, the liquid shut-off accessory (optional) should be installed in place of the internal filter and held in place by the same three springs.

SET-UP & OPERATION, 10-GALLON MODELS:The vacuum generating head, which mounts on top of the drum, seals to the drum via the lid clamps.

Connect the vacuum hose to the vacuum hose inlet by slipping the hose end onto the connector. This is an intentionally tight fit. Connect vacuum attachments to the vacuum hose.

The vacuum comes with a liquid shutoff assembly built internally within the cartridge filter. The cartridge filter can be removed for maintenance or replacement by removing the wing nut and washer on the bottom of the filter.

Turn off the compressed air supply valve at the compressor.

STATIC CONDUCTIVE MODELS:Guardair also manufactures Static Conductive, also known as NED (non-electrical discharge) models, designed to eliminate static electricity by incorporating static conductive components to suppress static electricity charges. Should stray static charges become generated, these charges are immediately dissipated through the electrically interconnected, static conductive components. For an added measure of protection, users can ground the vacuum by connecting the grounding lug to an external electrical ground using a grounding clamp and cable (available as an accessory item).

To ensure proper electrical bonding (connectivity between components), make sure that only static conductive, factory-supplied parts and accessories are used with Guardair NED vacuums. All components must fit together firmly, including the static conductive vacuum hose, which must mount securely on the vacuum hose inlet, and all static conductive vacuum accessories.

Always inspect all static conductive vacuum components before use, and replace worn or rusted parts as needed.

If you have questions about the necessity for grounding, consult with a qualified safety engineer.

WARNING FIRE/EXPLOSION DANGER Guardair vacuums, like all other pneumatic and electric vacuums, generate static electric charges. Factory installed kits to control static electricity, the use of static conductive hoses and grounding straps, and Guardair Static Conductive Pneumatic Vacuums are intended to control and eliminate static electric shocks only to the operators of the vacuums. Guardair vacuums are NOT APPROVED OR SAFE to use in any hazardous (classified) location, such as locations determined under NFPA 70 (National Electrical Code) to be Class I (flammable liquids, gases and vapors – includes all Class I Divisions and IEC Zones), Class II (combustible dust – includes all Class II Divisions and IEC Zones) and Class III (ignitable fibers and flyings – includes all Class III Divisions

and IEC Zones).
